Drew McIntyre feuded with Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss on SmackDown while aligning with Jeff Hardy. The WWE legend got released, and it turned into a two-on-one feud, with McIntyre still getting the upper hand at Day 1. However, he was written off TV with an injury.

This forced another change, and Sir Kofi Kingston was the one who began to feud with Corbin and Moss last week. He suffered a shocking defeat to Madcap Moss last Friday, but got his retribution this week with a win back.

However, it was not without a little help from Big E, who was his support at ringside. We're not sure what the need to bring E over to the blue brand was, especially since he's a RAW Superstar and on a singles run.

In the case of Kevin Owens, it made storyline sense as he is aligned with Seth Rollins and had a high-stakes match against The Usos this week.

With that said, the feud with Corbin and Moss has now officially switched over, and Kofi Kingston has taken Drew McIntyre's place.
